The following is a list of players (in alphabetical order) who have done private hitting instruction over the years. It is not a complete list, so apologies to those who might have been left off. All these players achieved a minimum of a college scholarship, and it is not just because of private lessons, but also because of the players desire, work ethic, talent, and parental support. Each player worked with Roger a minimum of one year on a regular basis and used our computerized pitching machines as part of their hitting regiment.

We always recommend before you do lessons with an instructor, find out the students who have gone on to higher success working with that instructor. This is especially important for players approaching or at the high school level.
